Abstract

Accurate determination of the transient electronic structures, which drive photochemical reactions, is crucial in chemistry and biology. We report the detection of transient chemical changes on the picosecond time scale by x-ray-absorption near-edge structure of photoexcited aqueous [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+). Upon ultrashort laser pulse excitation a charge transfer excited state having a 300 ns lifetime is formed. We detect the change of oxidation state of the central Ru atom at its L3 and L2 edges, at a temporal resolution of 100 ps with the zero of time unambiguously determined.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
